They also picked up Drewski from the Kings 6-2 220.
Murray at 6-3 240 would be a monster on the Flames but on the Canadiens he won't stand out that much.
SOB at 6-3 230 will stick out as being a lot bigger on the Flames than Murray does on the Canadiens.

The Flames D is pretty small as it stands now but Murray is still quite a bit bigger than the rest of the Montreal D. Montreal's lack of team toughness/size showed when they got owned by the Sens physically. Subban is closer to 5'11 - he is just listed at 6 feet. Remember, this is the same team that has Prust listed at 6'2. Gorges is pretty lanky and doesn't stand out physically on the ice. I don't know much about Drewski but he is their 7th d-man from what I've seen. I think Bouillion and Diaz would slot in ahead of him. Both are on the smaller side.
Aside from Emelin, that defense really didn't have much size or a physical presence. With the addition of Murray and if Tinordi makes the jump, that defense will be much bigger this year.
